Army Power and Energy: Power through Partnering

The U.S. Army is establishing and fostering power and energy partnerships with private industry, local government and communities through a variety of programs and initiatives that improve the Army's energy access and security - while reducing costs. These mutually beneficial partnerships enable both the Army and its partners to focus on their core competencies while realizing returns on their investments.

Other Army programs such as Power Purchase agreements, Utilities Privatization, Energy Savings Performance Contracts and Utility Energy Services Contracts are reducing the Army's energy costs through savings and efficiencies while improving energy access and security.

Saved approximately 10.4 trillion British thermal units (BTUs) per year across participating installations

What efforts does the Army have planned for the future?

The Army will continue to increase energy sustainability and security, foster its existing power and energy programs, seek out new opportunities for mutually beneficial partnerships, and provide Soldiers and their families the level of service they deserve.

Why is this important to the Army?

Maintaining the Army's readiness to deploy, fight and win our nation's wars in an environment of fiscal constraint and reduced budgets requires us to focus on our core competencies while leveraging the expertise of our partners to reduce Army costs.
